| This course mainly focuses on how to read plays in a way that is useful for a staged production. Play analysis in this course calls for intuitive responses, contemplation, and analytical skills. Play analysis is only the first step in preparation for a production of a play. Emphasis will be placed on identifying how a play works. Students will apply techniques for understanding the unique dramaturgical requirements of a range of plays from different periods and genres, learning to engage closely with the demands and interpretive opportunities presented by each script. Special emphasis will also be placed on plot structure, language, characters, inherent stylistic devices, and themes. |
